HAPPY HOLIDAYS 2024!
Can you spot the 4 significant things in this image?
- The scaffolding is gone! Gone! Gone! SQUEE!!!!!!!!
- Look at the GLEAMING lap-siding on the first floor of the tower! That was months of work this year.
- There is no sheet covering the big window!!!!!!!!!
- Thanks to help from Godsend Eric, this is year #10 of the 3-story holiday lighted tree!
I have not been at the house after dusk to take an image, so this is from a year ago.

Yay to the scaffolding being gone because you are done with the repairs.
Yay to the big light tree.
Yay to no sheet in the window. Uh, why? Did you get the curtain situation situated? I don’t see those Viennese balloon shades. (You know, thinking back I think I made some for a big bedroom window back when I lived in a condo. That was over 35 years ago so have no idea if they are up in my attic but they wouldn’t fit your window anyway. Probably.)
I’m not decorating at all this year, not inside or out. I am too busy baking and doing repairs and when I’m done (I’m never done, there is always something next) I would be too tired to get it all out just to put it all back as i don’t entertain and no one visits so I am the only one that sees it. Maybe in a few years when my yard and house are in much better order and I need something to do. I used to put stuff up the day after Thanksgiving and leave it until Twelfth Night, the Day of the Kings, Ephiphany. Right now I only have a two small display “trees” that I leave up year round to enjoy. One has Springerle molds for the Twelve Days of Christmas. A gift to myself several years ago. The other displays all of my dog ornaments, the Hallmark ones with photos of my dogs, past and present. As I add one each year I remove the oldest one. With two dogs now they have to alternate each year.
I might buy myself a Teleflora arrangement as a gift to myself.
So I would love to see all of your photos this year of lights on all of the houses and any inside decorations or table settings if you do any entertaining. I will enjoy it as if I was there.
Ooh, it’s so pretty without the scaffolding. And that lap siding looks pristine—a real feat.
I think you have a typo in your headline. Did you mean to wish us hay for the holidays?

Yes!
I will be in Emporia next weekend on a flying visit. If I’m there after dark (and I might well be), I’ll take a few shots of the Christmas light corner for you.
Congratulations are in order. Those 4 sentences encompass a huge amount of work. Well done.
